The Irish Medical Council

The Irish Medical Council regulates how doctors practise medicine in the Republic of Ireland. Its statutory role, as outlined in the Medical Practitioners Act 2007, is to protect the Irish public by promoting and better ensuring high standards of professional conduct and professional education, training and competence among registered medical doctors. It maintains a ‘Register of Medical Practitioners’, a register of all medical doctors legally entitled to work in Ireland which can be searched at the link above, it ensures high standards of medical education and training, it sets standards for the maintenance of professional competence, and promotes good medical practice and investigating complaints against medical doctors. According to the Irish Medical Council's website in July 2010 there were a total of 19,083 doctors registered with the Medical Council. There is also information on other aspects of the Council's work,  such as how to make a complaint.
